SIZE GUIDE AND ADVICE FOR CHILDREN'S JEWELLERY

The sizing of children's jewellery is really dependant on the size of the child rather than the age as children do vary so much. A small toddler can have chubbier wrists than a beanpole of a young teenager!

However, below we hope to offer you some guidance. Please don't rely on this information totally, it is simply a guide. Please bear in mind the build of the child.

If you can it is a good idea to try to measure the child's wrist before purchasing. A game with a length of string or ribbon usually does the trick. All children love to be measured to see how big they are getting! As a general rule, for a comfortable fit, you should allow an extra 1-2 cm depending on the overall length.

Extender Chain - If you wish to extend the length of any chain, either bracelet or necklace, you can add up to 2" with our sterling silver extender chain which can be clasped at the additional 1" or 2" point, giving longer life to your children's jewellery.

Bangle Sizing - A Guideline

When choosing an expanding bangle, consider that the hand is overall larger than the wrist so it is the ease of getting on you need to think about. Again children's wrists vary a lot so this is just a guideline.

Pandora Style Charm Bracelets

The same applies to bracelets as above but you also need to consider the number of charms that will be put on the bracelet. The more beads placed on the bracelet, the tighter it will become. For the addition of around 5 beads you should allow an additional 2-3 cm. The more beads you add, the more space you will need.

It is always a good idea to purchase a 'stopper bead' for a child's bead bracelet as this stops all the beads sliding off the bracelet when it is undone. You don't want them to lose all their beads!Children's Necklaces
